Top notes: A classic sweet floral scent (70%) blended with a zesty tropical fruit aroma (30%). The initial fragrance is more reminiscent of a true perfume rather than shampoo or fabric softener. Middle notes: As the alcohol dissipates, the initially intense scent becomes more natural. The floral notes are strong and complex rather than subtle, while the fruit notes offer a balanced mix of tangy tropical fruits. Base notes: The initial sweetness fades, transitioning into a scent reminiscent of a pleasantly sweet fabric softener. Personally, I found the base notes most appealing. There's a hint of musk, and when I apply it to my wrists and hair in the morning, I catch whiffs of a shampoo-like scent hours later when the wind blows or I let my hair down. In my opinion, this fragrance is suitable for any season except midsummer and would be most fitting for those in their 20s and 30s. However, I noticed that when I wasn't feeling well, the scent seemed to border on being cloying, so I expect it might be somewhat polarizing. If you absolutely detest sweet fragrances (like Jimmy Choo Blossom), this might not be for you. I personally dislike overly sweet scents, but I found this one agreeable. Packaging: The bottle design is simple yet elegant, with a fabric-wrapped section and a mesh ribbon on the 50ml and 100ml sizes that adds a beautiful accent to your vanity. Longevity: It varies, but for me, it lasted about 5-6 hours. While it becomes very subtle towards the end, it lingers longer in the hair. Applying it before work and reapplying once or twice after lunch can keep you fragrant all day. Accessibility: It's widely available in most drugstores, so you can easily sample it anytime.

While it's a matter of personal preference, I don't find this fragrance particularly special or exceptional. Given that it's not exactly budget-friendly, I'd use it if someone gave it to me, but I probably wouldn't choose it over other perfumes I own.
